Almost all the comparative advantages that caused me to leave other companies and come to State Farm are now gone. I'm just wondering if this place still offers any benefits that the competitors don't? I don't think so, and please correct me if I'm wrong.

The only advantage to State Farm over any other insurance company is Injury CS roles being hourly vs everyone else being salaried with too much work to not do OT permanently. That and for the rare few who are at the top of the payscale, some roles have slightly more top end pay, applicable to like 0.05% the worforce.
Every associate level role is exactly the same across the board.
Basically pick the company that pays the best they are all the same you only trade "issues" there is no longer a best insurance company to work for (RIP Legacy SF it was the last)
You might find utopia at some of the really small local insurance companies, last i heard Erie was good but also "transforming" into the rest ect.
Time for you to go somewhere else then. And hop over to their portion of this site to complain that you don’t like it there either.
Mr. Lipsore said he wanted to run the company like a “stock/ shareholder” company whelp he put a few of his minions in like Assley and Futwad (Staples guy) in key positions. Then screwed over Claims, then offshored every position he could and guess what it worked …. now SF is just like any other company. But here is an inside scoop … after April 30 their will be a reckoning. People like Jason Johnson (boot li---r) who moved to HCL as said if people dont like it they can walk….. we will see.
#1. hourly pay. they still over load you like everyone else, they still make you do over time....but at least they pay, and its really the only advantage to being a company that revolves around cost reduction and not much else.
#2. Financial stability. company pockets are deep. we will be the last insurance company standing if SHTF.
#3. some people like the color red.
That is all.
No, heck they exaggerate the furthest they legally can with the benefits. School you have to put 50% up for, the certificates offered on degreed/udemy, SF doesn’t even honor on your resume.
Unfortunately there’s old heads there that believe on the old ways of financially crippling yourself in the name of a piece of paper.
If you have family, other things going on in life, but still want an education. Think about time and your situation, if you work in operations you’ll either get to choose your cr---y paycheck or an education. Not very many can manage claims/school, without giving up on on or the other. Hint choose giving up operations, everyone I know that’s done that is successful and now educated.
You do get paid 100% for STD but that's about it
Why? Loyalty and make it worth the opportunity cost which accountants will never understand. All about me now is a failure.
Why would any company offer benefits like pensions these days?
Today's employees change jobs every couple of years if not shorter.
Why waste money on long term benefits for employees who don't want to be long term?

No they don't! SF is no longer a choice for those looking for a career.
